Knowing how many UFOs -- well, to be honest, UnStarted Projects (USPs) I
have at home, I was VERy virtuous at the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival yesterday; only succumbed to a few super-bargains (then I spent $$ on unusual garden plants at the herb-&-plant tent). So what would be a good project to use up four 275-yd hanks of fingering wool, in a dark heathery gray w/a splash of purple? |

good project to use up four 275-yd hanks of fingering wool, in a dark heathery gray w/a splash of purple? Do you have enough for: Gloves (http://vintagepurls.net.nz/2007/02/16/glove-pattern/) Small, lacey scarf (http://vintagepurls.net.nz/2007/04/21/lies-damn- lies/) Something for a child - little mittens/gloves/hat. A little black or purple contrast might go nicely for a slightly larger project. VP |

So what would be a good project to use up four 275-yd hanks of fingering wool, in a dark heathery gray w/a splash of purple? 4 x 275 = 1100 yards. That's enough for a shawl, or a lacy vest or small shrug. =Tamar |

Makes my piddly suggestions seem silly - I was working on the yardage for just one skein. That'll teach me to read more carefully. I think a shawl would be lovely. VP |
